What, as a likeable character?
That's an absurdly broad question to encompass what the article is advertising it as.
Look, do what you want with who you want, I could care less. But the issue on the bounds of criticism is how it boils down. More often than not, it's not an issue of a stance on a topic, but more of something else.

OH MY GOD....
I don't care.
I agree whole-heartedly. Maybe if Overwatch actually had an over-arching narrative or some sort of progressing plot, then a character being gay might both have plot significance and (although I don't usually like this sort of writing) progressive significance. But as it stands, Overwatch doesn't have that, so a character being gay has no point and shouldn't be that much of a deal. It's like giving sexuality to the characters in Gigantic. It's a MOBA where creatures fight e...
OH MY. PLEASE. DON'T TEASE ME LIKE THIS.
